Getting Your PowerPoint Content Into Flash

Getting PowerPoint Content Into Flash

This tutorial will show you one way to move content from an existing PowerPoint
presentation to a Flash project. You might want to add more sophisticated animation
and interactivity to your presentation than PowerPoint offers, or you might
want to make your presentation more "web-friendly." This tutorial
will help you to move your existing PowerPoint slides--so you can save time
by not having to recreate your presentation from scratch in Flash. This method
works best for presentations with a lot of slides and a lot of text that you
don't want to retype and reformat in Flash.

This tutorial was created using PowerPoint 2000 and Flash 5.

Step 1: Saving your content from PowerPoint.

We'll assume that you already have a complete PowerPoint that you want to use.

A pop-up box displays in PowerPoint, asking if you want export every slide
in the presentation. Click Yes.

Each slide is saved as a separate .wmf in the folder you defined.

PowerPoint transfers any text and any graphics on the slide to
the WMF. It does not usually grab images or graphics that are located on the
PowerPoint Slide Master. You'll have to recreate these in Flash or go to the
Slide Master in PowerPoint after you're done and copy the images you want. Then,
you can paste them into your Flash timeline.

I created this font for free use. Everyone can apply it in personal or business texts. Its free, but I want to be communicated in case of business use. Donations are accepted to keep the project of free fonts alive! Thank you all

Hmm... what to say about this one? It's reminiscent of the closing notes of the opening music from the Three Stooges done in a church organ style with a closing cymbal crash. I'll give this one away gratis, but feel free to check out my free loops and potential upcoming license-mandated ones over in the respective part of Flashkit.
